Red Sox Socks

I knit these tiny 2D socks for a very special custom order.

I will post pics of the yarn when it is completed.

Too cute- and hilarious!

Red Socks (Sox)-- get it?

Yarn piles and still unpacking!

Hiya!

It's been busy as usual here in the Material Whirled, with many orders to fill.

Here are some pics of yarn piles and the yarn sauna!

I finally got the back studio room unpacked and functioning, it is a DREAM in there, with a fiber wall and a shipping area, and a photo area! sigh... I may move a bed in there and never leave!

Here is a before shot, Jackie came over and helped me figure things out and organize.

It was embarrassingly trashed. bad. fiber tribbles all OVER, piles and mayhem!

Here the fiber wall is starting to take shape, but there were still piles and bins to deal with.

I decided to move the big ole counter in the center of the room to optimize its vastness, this way we can get all around it to work. I need to hit Goodwill to find some retro bar stools.

Here is Battman hard at work on a day off. We made the area behind him an art workspace for the girls. I will take more pics once I get the photo studio complete and the curtains hung.

For now-- more spinning to do!

Updates and bad pictures

Hiya!

I spent the afternoon building a 'photo studio' only to take many horrible photos.

It seems it is a tad overcast here in the pacific northwest (go figure!).

I need to tweak the photo studio a bit I believe and figure out what the issue is.

For now I will update the yarns that I have decent photos of and put the rest up tomorrow after I reshoot.

Turkey and updates~

Hello!

Hope everyone had a peaceful Thanksgiving.

Look for a yarn shop update this weekend!

Nov. 9th Yarn update!

I just updated the One-of-a-Kind Gallery with 12 new skeins!

Here is a link to the Flickr Gallery so you can see all of the yarns in one place.

They will be removed from the shop as they sell.

Phew!Time for some couch with knitting!

Maeve is the yarn made from the batt shown in yesterday's post.

Creativity!

It has been so long since I have spun for the mere sake of creating. I have had so many orders to fill, which is fantastic & phenomenal (yay orders!), but I miss spinning for the mere sake of creating.

So, after picking up the biggest fiber-gasm EVER, 75 lb of heaven....

I spent the day designing, carding and spinning a one-of-a-kind pile of skeins, which will go on the site for sale Fri. or Sat. so stay tuned!

Here is one of the batts, for a teaser.

Back to the wheel!

Crochet

I have many ideas for crochet patterns for the site, but need help getting them written up and tested, etc.

Anyone out there willing to tackle this drop me a line, I pay in yarn.
